The Globe and Mail (Canada) 21/1/2025 Feature AFP Commissioner Reece Kershaw antisemitism statement AUSTRALIA: There is no doubt there is an escalation of antisemitism in Australia. We know this is changing the movements and behaviour of a community that is in fear. When a community feels they need to self-segregate or hide to stay safe, this has a greater impact on social cohesion and crime in general. Antisemitism is a disease in our community, and it needs to be aggressively attacked because history shows what happens when action is not taken against those who fuel fear and terrorise others. I know many people feel they want more action to go with words. Today, I will outline what the AFP has done and what is being considered.

ABC News (Australia) 21/1/2025 News How Did They Do It? Success Factors for Women Pursuing Positions on Elite Police Specialty Units To address the underrepresentation of women on elite police specialty units, this study sought to identify success factors of women who served or led in these roles and offer advice to others seeking to do the same. Data stem from interviews with 32 women officers from the United States who served on or led an elite specialty unit (i.e., SWAT, canine, motorcycle, or bomb). Findings reflect traits and skills that were helpful to participants when pursuing their positions, and their preparation strategies and advice for the next generations of women officers. Participants emphasized the importance of developing a good reputation as a patrol officer, unit-specific skills, and the ability to fit into an all-male environment. The study offers practical information for women aspiring to elite specialty positions and insight into the gendered nature of these units. Women and Criminal Justice 21/1/2025 Research article Unveiling the silent battle: suicide rates among law enforcement personnel Review of the literature The present study Methods Results Discussion Conclusion Disclosure statement Additional information References Full Article Figures & data References Citations Metrics Reprints & Permissions View PDF(open in a new window)View EPUB(open in a new window) Share ABSTRACT Accurately calculating suicide rates among law enforcement officers has been a longstanding challenge. Since 2016, the nonprofit organization First H.E.L.P. has implemented a standardized and rigorous methodology to collect data on public safety personnel suicides. This study utilizes First H.E.L.P.‘s data to examine suicide rates among sworn law enforcement officers from 2016 to 2022, disaggregated by year, sex, and geographic region and division. Findings reveal an average suicide rate of 21.4 per 100,000 officers over the seven-year period, with male officers showing a significantly higher rate (22.7) than their female counterparts (12.7). Regionally, the Midwest (27.5) and Northeast (24.0) had higher suicide rates than the South (19.4) and West (19.7), although variation was noted across divisions within these regions. The paper concludes by exploring potential reasons for these discrepancies and highlighting the potential benefits of systematic data collection in improving our understanding of law enforcement officer suicides.
